Hyper EVO 212 $30 and will give much better cooling

Damn how much did that run you?

It's worth $2500+

Not a gaming setup without your pee bottle.

i look at this thread too much, I'll post mine when I get home and build it in 12 days :D:D:D:D

All SSD is the way to go assuming you can afford it. My mechanical drive is hidden away in my chest of drawers :3.

 

 

@Alek

We have the same Viewsonic monitor . 

For an extra $100 (?) you got 2mb more of cache, extra threads that you wont use (apart from when developing) and a couple hundred mhz more than an i5. i5's are more suited for gaming, anywhere you look will say that. The i7 4770 is meant to be bought by people who want an i7 haswell cpu but don't overclock. The reason why the k is clocked slightly higher is because it uses better silicon for that overclocking capability. Non k chips aren't meant for oc'ing so they use lower quality silicon like how the i3's/atoms etc use even lower quality silicon. Mhz doesn't mean a lot, it's the MIPS vs FLOPS argument all over again (http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/perf.html you would be arguing for mips).

I appreciate you actually have knowledge. I really do.

I got the following setup:

 

i5-3570k @ 3.8 GHz

CM Hyper 212 EVO

MSi GTX770

Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H

Kingston HyperX 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz

XFX 550w PSU

BitFenix Shinobi case

Kingston 120GB SSD

WD Green 1TB HDD

 

peripherals:

 

QPad MK-50 with Cherrry MX Red

Logitech G400s

SteelSeries Siberia v2 headset

 

 

Awesome PC, Hope to get rid of my old pc and build something like that.

Pretty good setup, what processor?
